Frequently asked
Which is better if I am pre-product-market fit?+
Neither specialist SEO nor GEO is the right first spend pre-PMF, because organic compounds over quarters. A growth agency running fast paid experiments will tell you more, sooner.
Which is better once organic is already a real channel?+
A specialist. Once organic drives meaningful revenue, the remaining upside sits in structural issues and AI citation share, which need depth rather than another channel added to the mix.
Do you offer strategy-only engagements?+
Yes. The audit plus a sequenced 90-day plan is a standalone deliverable, and your in-house team or existing agency can execute it.
